Resonance phenomena on bias current dependence of AlGaAs double heterostructure laser amplifier

Abstract

We report the first observation of the resonance phenomena on the bias current dependence of the amplified light output for AlGaAs double heterostructure laser. We also show that this resonance phenomenon is mainly caused by the change in the refractive index of the active layer due to the bias current change in terms of the simple theoretical calculations taking into account the effect of the refractive index change in the active layer.
